Hello all,
I just returned from La Pacifica in Los Cabos and I have to tell you I was absolutely enchanted. I was seriously considering buying the timeshare on the spot when I learned that HGVC uses a points system in order to make reservations, but the upfront retail prices scared the crap out of me! A one bedroom premier suite (which was the room I was staying in during the sales pitch) during Gold season had a $76k down (at 14.99%) and $2505/yr maintenance fee! The sticker shock scared me into doing more research, and I found this amazing website and immediately joined up. Hoping you all can help me!
My question: I want to be able to stay 5 nights at La Pacifica every year. A week in the room and season that I want (at the above prices) would cost 11,600 club points. 11600/7 nights = 1657 club points/night. 5 nights would (theoretically) cost me 5 * 1657 = 8285 points. Would I be able to purchase a resale that gives me roughly that many points (probably 9000 to be safe) and achieve my goal? That is, I'd buy a resale in Hawaii or Vegas that gives 9000 club points annually-> pass on my home week (or not, depending on my yearly mood!) and then cash out into club points -> use my club points to book La Pacifica. I understand I'd only be able to book it after the Home Week deed owners have passed on it (aka 9 months out).
Does that sound like a plan that would actually work?
Also, does anybody know the exact cost of 5 nights at La Pacifica in November? Since I'm not a club member I can't check on my own
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
